Popdefect was a three-piece pop rock outfit that formed in Seattle in 1980. Guitarist/vocalist Al Anderson and drummer Nick Scott first played together with Tom Price (U-Men Gas Huffer Kings of Rock) in a band called Psychopop. After Tom left to form the U-Men Charlie Hutchinson moved in on bass and POPDeFECT was born. Shortly thereafter the trio moved to Los Angeles when Anderson left to attend school and the two remaining members left to join him.Their early years in L.A. were overshadowed by the high-profile punk movement of the time so they decided to tackle other parts of the country.With virtually no advance bookings they embarked on their first tour -- getting gigs as they went. By the time it was over they¹d played over 30clubs and made valuable contacts that allowed them to continue to tour incessantly throughout their career (this DIY-style of hitting the road waschronicled in the film- Live With This). Their touring tactics were successful and by the late 80s they were an L.A. club and scene staplewhere they relentlessly played their favorite musical venue the notoriousAls Bar. - Heart Murmur
